The New York Times review of this concert said, βFor 31 minutes last night the Central Park Mall was the scene of one of the most energetic and musically challenging jazz performances heard here recently.β

It was a βfree jam session that seemed to express in music the freedom the musicians have stated they are seeking from conventional jazz promoters.β

ββ¦The audience of young people seemed to understand exactly what the musicians were saying as they shouted encouragement, whistled and finally gave the performers a standing ovation.β (Les Ledbetter, NYT, 7/11/72)

While we have not yet found the audio recording of the concert, Juma does believe it will be found in his collection.
